As an increasing and ageing population puts pressure on local GP services, schools and roads, I plan to be an advocate for all my constituents as we face the challenge of building more homes. It is a stroke of luck to be born British, and my indebtedness goes to the heart of why I am a Conservative. Our party rewards endeavour enables compassion and liberates people from the shackles of the state. Our party says, āIt doesnāt matter where you start. You can make your life and that of others better by taking responsibility and through self-empowerment and generosity.ā I will do all I can to serve the people of Fareham with humility, integrity and warmth.ā

On 6 July 2022, she called for the then Prime Miniter of the UK, Boris Johnson , for giving up his position as according to her, Boris Johnson was handling matters in a dreadful way during the United Kingdom government crisis, and allegedly, even the party members were not happy with his decisions and work. In an interview, while talking about it, she said,
The balance has tipped now in favour of saying that the Prime Minister ā it pains me to say it ā but itās time to go.ā
In 2022, after she lost the Conservative Party leadership elections, she began to promote Liz Truss , one of the candidates for the Prime Ministerial elections, in Liz Trussā election campaigns.
Suella Braverman promoting Liz Truss

In a 2022 interview, Suella said that schools should treat students on the basis of their sex, instead of their self-identified gender. She said,
Under-18s cannot get a gender recognition certificate, and under-18s cannot legally change sex. So again in the context of schools, I think itās even clearer actually. A male child who says in a school that they are a trans girl, and that they want to be female, is legally still a boy or a male. And they can be treated as such under the law. And schools have a right to treat them as such under the law.ā check sources Sex Matters

In a 2022 interview, she talked about the pressures of being an attorney general. She shared a memory of hers when Russia and Ukraine were at war with each other, and she was called for a meeting at the office at 5 oāclock in the morning. She said,
When Russia invaded Ukraine I got a call from my secretary at 2am to say the prime minister had called a 5am cabinet meeting. I rang Mum at 3am and said: āIāve got to go.ā And she said: āNo problem, Iām coming.ā The children (George, three, and Gabriella, one) were at nursery that morning as if nothing had happened. The pressure in my job can be excruciating. In a hypothetical crisis situation it is the assessment of evidence and legal advice given by the attorney general that is determinative. That pressure makes you very vigilant. When youāre up close to the role of prime minister, you see how tough it is ā and I thought I could do it.ā
